Top 5 New Years Destinations


     Happy New Year everyone. I hope all of you had a happy holidays, whatever holiday you celebrate. I appreciate all of you for following my blog and hopefully I am encouraging you to go out and follow your dreams and be inspired by my travels. For this blog, I am going to be discussing some top New Year's destinations and, much like the top Christmas destinations blog, I will explain why these destinations are worth checking out.

                     
                                  HONOLULU, HAWAII

    This Hawaiian capital is surprisingly a good place to spend New Year's. One reason is the warm and lively beach weather. Much better than spending it in some East Coast city. Fireworks explode over both Waikiki Beach and Aloha Tower Marketplace. This is an excellent place for families to visit for New Year's. An excellent New Year's event is The Kaka'ako Waterfront Park, which contains a beer garden, carnival rides, food trucks, and a lot of entertainment. This city is also a nice place to lie on the beach to deal with a hangover.


                           LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA

     This divided city from West Los Angeles, Downtown LA, Hollywood, San Fernando Valley, has a lot to offer on a reasonable budget. Some of the events include black-tie affairs, street parties, and all-night clubbers. One way to do it would be to buy a club package, which allows access to multiple clubs. Some big events in Los Angeles include Cleopatra's New Year's Eve Bowl at the Egyptian Theater, which has a DJ playing the newest releases, LED light show, and a balloon drop. A free event that one should do is Grand Park, which has entertainment and food among the streets. Both Grand Park and Hollywood are accessible by Metro stops.


                                   CHICAGO, ILLINOIS

     There are lots of things to do in the Windy City, including dinner parties, firework cruises, and family-friendly events. One should explore Navy Pier to see an amazing firework show that bursts over Lake Michigan. A fun place for mingling and dancing is the Chicago Resolution Gala. That is the highlight for New Year's in Chicago, containing 30 bars, buffet stations, and access to the Grand Ballroom and Lakeview Terrace. Another excellent activity would be to go to one of the hotels for one of their parties.


LAS VEGAS, NEVADA
     Sin City, particularly the strip, is an excellent place to party with over 300,000 visitors who check out all the themed hotels all on one boulevard. All traffic shuts down and the strip transforms into a big block party. At midnight, the casinos put on a firework show that makes Times Square look bad. Party goers dance the night away. The Skylofts at the MGM Grand give one a superb view of the strip during this party season.

                                NEW YORK, NEW YORK
   
     This is the destination of all destinations to visit for New Year's Eve. People head to Times Square to watch the ball drop, and all the networks play New Year's there. There are over 100,000 places to drink and ring in the new year. Many people brave up for Times Square and purchase a party pass for open bars. Other amazing activities for New Year's include STK Rooftop, where a DJ spins the hottest tracks and the bar overlooks the Hudson River. Or Monarch Rooftop Lounge, which offers a view of the Empire State Building. No matter what you do in the Big Apple, it will be epic.

    I hope I gave you an idea of places to visit for your New Year's. From the beach to a city in the desert to the Midwest to two coastal cities, there's no shortage of fun places to check out for your holiday. I look forward to taking YOU to more destinations in 2019, and thanks for reading.
